What is the Rule of Law Good For?
Everyone loves the rule of law, but they don’t agree on what it is or why it matters. That’s why Paul Gowder’s book, The Rule of Law in the Real World, is so important.

Thus opens my review of the book at the New Rambler, here.

If enacted, this plan would give us the most redistributionist tax code in many years. For comparison, in 1979, as the Reagan tax revolution was starting to pick up steam as a political movement, the tax rate for the top one percent was 35.1 percent--a rate that has never been... more »

Amazing: The USS Midway Served for 50 Years as One of America's Best Aircraft Carriers
*Sebastien Roblin* *Technology, Americas* [image: Reuters] Very impressive. *Key point:* America knows how to build really good, long-lasting warships. The USS *Midway* is a case in point. On March 20, 1945 the shipyard in Newport News, Virginia launched what would remain for a decade the largest warship on the planet. Named *USS Midway *after the decisive World War II carrier battle, she would be commissioned September 8 just a few weeks after the Japanese surrender. Few of the over four-thousand-man complement departing on *Midway*’s first patrol could have imagined that same ... more »

These two candidates would be expected to flip 106 and 84 electoral votes, respectively. Democrats only need to flip a net of 38 electoral votes from 2016 in order to win.
